Matthew is like one of those love hate relationships with the Bitcoin community... Some hate'em, some Love'em.

Lol everyone keeps mentioning phones that would be pointless for sure. Beaglebone (maybe beagleboard might be better) on the other hand might go faster with a mini lunux version no gui, nothing to compute besides btc transactions.

Yet another experiment has shot down the idea of using bitcoins in games. Not ONE, not a single ONE player advocating bitcoins turned up. Even Ixcoin has ONE player promoting their use, but for bitcoins, NONE. It was thought unfair to switch the currency to bitcoins rather than to some other currency that at least one player actually advocated. Point taken, so until we do some kind of formal battle of the coins wherein the players advocatign each coin can fight out among them to establish dominance of a particular blockchain we will just use normal default game-currencies as the actual main in-game currency.

I suppose there was a lack of advocacy to get Bitcoiners there in the first place. You've been mentioning potential solutions all throughout the thread, but you never had a call to action. You never said, "Hey, now is the time for everyone to join this game (URL)!" Nothing about promoting Bitcoin's use in a particular game at a particular time/date. So, try it again, but be more clear with what you want to accomplish. What game are we supposed to advocate for Bitcoin in? How do we go about accessing said game? What's the best way to advocate for Bitcoin within the game? What date and time should we do this? Again, your posts have all come off as being "potential" ideas. I don't think anyone understood that you were actually trying to gather Bitcoin players into a particular game. And if that was the case, your posts are unclear enough that I still don't know which game you wanted to promote Bitcoins in. I was gonna write something similar to this -- I completely agree. I myself was completely unaware of what was happening to this thread. At one point I actually just assumed that alot of guys are chatting in secret and were going to release something by the 3rd page arising from this thread but then everyone start jumping in with throwing out possible engines to use so I scratched that assumption and now we are here still with no game or even what I half expected would be a storyline or some gameplay features. I seriously suggest using some solution that is cross-browser & cross-operating system comparability or it will have some issues gaining any popularity in the Bitcoin world( and couldn't hurt you in the non-geeky world)

Interesting.
How small are you thinking a final version maybe? As small as a USB stick with 2-line display?
I think for btc savings (large amounts) having just a small, network-isolated, piece of hardware that does nothing else but store keys and sign transactions is a very promising concept.
Sounds like iron key needs to be Contacted

Make it an option? Set decimals ( 0 - 8 | default: 2 ): [ ] indeed, when nobody seems to agree on something, it has to be an option. What if I don't agree on that? Then don't set decimals No, clearly, by ThomasV's logic, if I don't agree on it, then it should be an option. Hence, I want the option to turn options off. Infinite Options!!

Still no luck for me, no new confirmations while program is open. I opened second client after an hour and it already had 6 confirmations (see pic).
oh, I think that I know what's wrong here; thanks for the pic! this is caused by the new stratum protocol: the client cannot detect when the link is down, because it does not poll anymore. I believe the best way to fix this is to add a 'ping' message sent by the client. Also... a mini request: could you add ".0" for integer numbers under "Amount" tab? It looks a little bit strange the way it is now.
yes, I can do that, but I am not sure if it really makes sense... are there other people who would want it? I couldnt care less but since were on the issue eight zeros would make more sense then just one zero.

I think it's official some entity needs to make a forums software that satisfies the requested requirements instead of presenting proposal/offers/mock up code or anything of the like.
Who gonna man up?

Yes I thought he went a little over board with the economics I doubt any one knew wtf he was talking about(or understand his accent along with complex formulas?) At least is Bitcoin press +1 to that.
